Chapter 899: The Power of Time Cuts Through Eight Cycles (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Since this was fishing, Xu Jin moved through space slowly when leaving Qingyin Market, about twenty thousand li per shift—not impressive, but certainly not weak.
As he teleported, Xu Jin activated the divine skill Mingqian Touch.
The newly learned divine skill Mingqian Touch was also the source of Xu Jin's confidence in openly fishing.
Without it, he might accidentally hook several Ninth-Cycle True Persons or even Emperors, and end up hooking himself.
Tens of thousands of li away, Xu Jin's Mingqian Touch had already silently extended to Qingyin Market.
He sensed that the instant he vanished from Qingyin Market, at least twenty-three True Person auras vanished instantly, chasing in all directions.
But after Xu Jin teleported seven or eight times, only five True Person elites could keep up.
Four of them specialized in space, and one was a Thunder cultivator with extreme speed.
Only True Persons who specialized in space could sense Xu Jin's teleportation direction and catch up, given his abrupt departure.
These were precisely the targets Xu Jin most wanted to catch.
His space-natured core artifact was nearing its limit.
Xu Jin planned to catch a few True Person Blood Crystals to catalyze it, then he could Cycle Yunxing.
As for the ones being fished?
When they decided to chase, they had to take responsibility for their actions.
"Ninth-Cycle!"
The fastest pursuer was a Ninth-Cycle Space True Person, making Xu Jin extremely envious.
For now, Xu Jin had to give up.
The main reason was that his Chaos Star Gang was empty.
If his Chaos Star Gang had been full, Xu Jin would have charged straight in.
This chase revealed the true levels of the five True Persons who had stubbornly pursued.
The Ninth-Cycle True Person was strongest, teleporting over twenty-seven thousand li per shift, clinging closest and tracking with the greatest accuracy.
The others ranged from Fourth-Cycle to Seventh-Cycle, each with their own strengths.
But it was certain that after only a dozen breaths, they had already fallen far apart.
The slowest, the Sixth-Cycle Thunder True Person, had already dropped out of Xu Jin's Mingqian Touch range.
"Enough!"
In the next instant, Xu Jin suddenly reversed and teleported backward.
Two breaths later, the Sixth-Cycle Space True Person Qu Lang, who had been fully focused on sensing residual space ripples in the starry void, frowned.
The target had run too fast, and the space ripples from the other pursuing Space True Persons had interfered with his tracking.
Space True Persons were hard to cultivate, but once they attained True Person status, their advancement was rapid.
The reason was simple: as vanguards and scouts, they gained rewards quickly, and killing for treasures in the vast star ruins was far easier.
They came without trace, vanished without warning.
Thus, Space True Persons were not only born scouts, but born star pirates!
Qu Lang had built his considerable wealth and rapid growth precisely through this.
Suddenly, while sensing the void, Qu Lang's gaze shifted, fixing on the empty space dozens of li ahead.
Dozens of li ahead, within the rippling void, the very target he had nearly lost—the Town Tianyang Xingjun—reappeared!
In an instant, Qu Lang wanted to burst out laughing.
When fortune came, nothing could stop it.
He had nearly lost the trail, yet the target had returned right to him.
It was as if he had searched for years and now found it right under his feet!
Excited, the Sixth-Cycle True Person Qu Lang instantly charged toward Xu Jin and activated a star technique.
But at the same moment, his expression turned utterly stunned.
Because he realized the target was bizarrely charging straight toward him.
Qu Lang froze in shock.
This only happened in one scenario: he was being fished.
He was being fished?
Instantly, Qu Lang felt an indescribable absurdity rise in his heart.
He, a Sixth-Cycle Space True Person, being fished by a Town Tianyang Xingjun?
Even as a joke, this would be laughably cold.
But years of star-pirating instincts still stirred a sliver of caution in him.
At that exact moment, a golden crescent moon, brimming with massive space ripples, suddenly materialized before him and slashed down—deadly sharp.
He instantly unleashed his rule-based technique and raised his core weapon.
At that same instant, silver light descended.
His entire body stiffened; not even a single finger could move—he was locked in place.
Fortunately, his spiritual sense and star force still functioned.
He could still activate star techniques.
This was Xu Jin's space-rule technique: Void Lock.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Terrifying lightning erupted instantly, followed by consecutive strikes carrying terrifying primordial rule power!
Thunder Rule Technique: Thunder Pulp!
First strike: his core weapon shattered. Second strike: his protective star technique collapsed. Third strike: his armor, forged with countless years of effort, cracked apart.
Fortunately, after three consecutive strikes, the space-rule force locking him in place also shattered.
The instant he broke free, he tried to teleport away.
But silver threads exploded, shredding the surrounding void and preventing any teleportation.
After three consecutive slashes, they shredded his star technique defenses and his physical body.
In utter terror, Qu Lang.
Instantly activated his life-saving divine skill; his gaze flashed once, and a silver thread rose from the void, pulling him away at high speed.
ZOOM!
A golden crescent moon materialized out of nowhere, slamming directly into his speeding form, dimming the glow of his Nascent Soul.
As he reeled in shock, the lightning struck—and the golden crescent vanished.
His Nascent Soul turned to ash; True Person Blood Crystal surfaced.
As Xu Jin swiftly collected it, he immediately activated his Sumeru Space and reactivated Mingqian Touch to seek his next target.
Since he'd caught one, why not catch a few more?
Under Mingqian Touch's sensing, Xu Jin suddenly froze in surprise.
He didn't need to move.
Someone had sensed the battle's commotion and was rushing over.
The bold still outnumbered the cautious.
The one rushing in was a Fourth-Cycle Space True Person, close by.
Two breaths later, the Fourth-Cycle True Person stared at Xu Jin, who stood calmly watching him, utterly stunned.
He had sensed space ripples, detected a major battle, and rushed over hoping to scavenge some benefit.
Maybe both sides were wounded?
Maybe the victor was severely injured?
Instead of seeing a stalemate, he saw only a Town Tianyang Xingjun smiling at him—and in one glance, his spiritual essence sank into the Void.
Dealing with this one was even simpler.
He was caught completely off-guard beneath the Void Inquiry Platform, and Xu Jin obliterated him with a barrage of strikes!
The instant he killed the Fourth-Cycle True Person, the Thunder primordial rule in the void surged violently—the slowest pursuing Thunder Sixth-Cycle True Person burst forth.
Because he had lagged far behind, Xu Jin's sudden return had drawn his attention.
Silver light descended instantly—Void Lock!
But as Xu Jin activated Void Lock, he began another new experiment in this battle.
Simultaneously with Void Lock, Xu Jin activated the Time Zhai Xing Lou, enveloping himself.
After the Time Zhai Xing Lou had greatly strengthened, its coverage area increased only slightly, but its acceleration multiplier rose dramatically.
